Hi,


It is required to have a valid payment method on file with your Apple ID if you have any active subscriptions and/or iCloud+. If you do not add a card, you will not be able to upgrade your iCloud+ storage plan.



After you add the preferred credit/debit card, you can also redeem an Apple gift card on your Apple ID to charge for your iCloud+ storage each month, instead of charging your card. Apple ID balance is always consumed first before charging the primary card on file.



Hope this helps.
